FirebirdSQL vs. InfluxDB

It is able to handle simultaneous connections when using the embedded software version. It is well suited for organizations looking for standalone servers that can handle high data volumes and still perform well and which is also cost-effective database management system especially when they are working on a low budget.

InfluxDB is very good at storing monitoring metrics (e.g. performance data). InfluxDB is not the right choice if you need to store other data types (like plain text, data relations etc.).

• Performance is really fast.
• It is portable and easy to take back ups.
• Its open n source and free.

Incentivized

• Perfect handling telemetry data.
• Low latency, near real time.
• SQL-like language makes it easier to query.

Incentivized

• Documentation.
• No GUI tool to view data.
• Slow via remote access.

Incentivized

• GUI based administrator console

Because it is free and usually zero maintenance. Just the issue of more difficult format updates in the future lower the rating a bit.

InfluxDB is a near perfect product for time series database engines. The relatively small list of cons are heavily outweighed by it's ability to just work and be a very flexible and powerful database engine. The community and support provided by the corporation are the only areas I have little experience.

Usability has improved by unifying the architecture. The only thing's missing out of the box is a simple GUI DB tool for viewing DB contents and maybe running some SQL queries.

This is an open source project. It provides a fair amount of free documentation and I think forums somewhere...

We have worked with the InfluxDB support team a few times so far and it has been positive. Issues submitted are worked on promptly and we have good feedback.

Even somebody just starting to use RDBMS himself should get it working quickly, at least if he's got a GUI tool and some SQL knowledge.

Incentivized

Because it is having Open Source License and easy to deploy on windows and linux environment

To be honest, I didn't look at alternatives since InfluxDB performs very well if you can oversee the lack of security and HA features. But for all challenges, there is an easy solution which brings you forward (e.g. read load balancing can be achieved by using a common HTTPS load balancer).

Incentivized

• Cost effective saving us from paid relational database.
• Community support.
• Efficiency in handling simultaneous connections.

Incentivized

• Provided us a time series DB.
• With the SQL-like language, it is very easy to learn.
• Empowered us to keep track of our events.
